"Bohemia in America, 1858-1920" explores the construction and
emergence of "Bohemia" in American literature and culture.
Simultaneously a literary trope, a cultural nexus, and a
socio-economic landscape, "la vie boheme" traveled to the United
States from the Parisian Latin Quarter in the 1850s. At first the
province of small artistic coteries, Bohemia soon inspired a
popular vogue, embodied in restaurants, clubs, neighborhoods,
novels, poems, and dramatic performances across the country.
Levin's study follows "la vie boheme" from its earliest expressions
in the U.S. until its explosion in Greenwich Village in the 1910s.
Although Bohemia was everywhere in nineteenth- and
twentieth-century American culture, it has received relatively
little scholarly attention. "Bohemia in America, 1858-1920" fills
this critical void, discovering and exploring the many textual and
geographic spaces in which Bohemia was conjured.
Joanna Levin not only provides access to a neglected cultural
phenomenon but also to a new and compelling way of charting the
development of American literature and culture.
